Shueard or Seward Family
« on: Monday 16 June 08 02:55 BST (UK) »
Hi I am new here and live in New South Wales, australia.
We have a very complete family history of the Shueards since the start of south Australia. The patriarch, Robert Shueard was born in 1813 in UK? and arrived in Adelaide from Tasmania about 1840's. We have recently disproved that he was Robert Seward, convicted in Norfolk and transported to Tasmania. We found that persons death record in Tasmania and our Robert was at least 6" taller.
Despite searching all online birth records we can not find him.
I am hopeful that someone on this forum has some link to him.

Hello Rosco99
I have recently had a family history done on my husband's family and the name George Shueard has come up - born c1842 and his father was Robert Seward/Steward.  George married Eliza Pascoe(b c 1846) in 1866 in Mount Barker, South Australia.  Does any of this relate to your Robert Seward??

Hi Nazusvis,
Yes George Shueard is related, he was my great grand Uncle. He was actually born in New Tiers on 29 Jun 1842.  I have considerable information on the Shueard ancestors if you wish to contact me privately.

Hello again rosco 99

That was a very quick reply!!  Thank you!!

One question I would like to ask is - where does the Shueard name originate from??  Yes, I would be very interested in the Shueard ancestors.  And just to confirm, did George and Eliza Shueard have a daughter - Eliza Sarah Shueard?? - just to make sure it is the right family!!

thanks again.

Yes, They had 3 children.
George (1867-1941)
Eliza Sarah (1868-1941)
Florence May (1871-1871)
The origin of Shueard is the big question. I can't find robert Shueards' birthplace.
His name has been variously spelled Seward, Shuard and Shueard. The latter seems to have been favoured since about 1880.
